Thanks a bunch for your help. It has been invaluble.
When you experienced a field htc of 70 Btu / hr ft^2 F, what were your operating parameters? I am getting close to 120 theoretically for my 44 gpm water jacket (which is similar to your operation as I see).
According to my...

Anyway I coudl get a fax-copy of those articles would be great..we are kind of under the gun over here. I can compensate you in some fashion if need be for your time--we are running out of time lol

My situation is prohibitive against a pump around basically because we are dealing with propellants.
Here are the details:
I need 700,000+ Btu/hr cooling in a stainless jacketed reactor that holds 500 gallons of fluid. We are looking at a half pipe coil design that will cover about 50-60 ft^2...
Art & Mfowler-
I greatly appreciate your discussion on this topic as I am facing a very similar problem as well.
I am concerned that the heat transfer coefficient is as low as 70, but I am curious as to what were the operating parameters of that measurement (ie, flow rate, size of coil, coil...
